Sofia Coppola is gifted at capturing the interiority of her young female characters.

As Priscilla, Cailee Spaeny effortlessly spans her journey from wide-eyed adolescence to disillusioned young womanhood, while Australia’s Jacob Elordi... has no difficulty in evoking Elvis’s glamour.

It is fascinating and touches on some of the themes Coppola explores in this remarkable movie.

In Coppola’s hands this is all funny, sad, both not what you might not expect and exactly what feels right.
